Dear Dave,
Thanks for your interest - I wish granting agencies felt the same way, but neither Canadian nor Australian granting bodies seem to like the circadian rhythms in the development of tolerance/sensitisation (hence the period of no research in the area). I am currently looking for a student who may be interested in doing SCN lesions ...
